Civilization V is a turn-based strategy, 4X computer game in which the player must manage units, found new cities, go into battle, control production, handle diplomacy and direct the civilization's growth in technology, culture, food supply, and economics

I bought the Civ6 expansion this weekend. And honestly, I'm not really a fan. The loyalty system seems decent as a method of more or less keeping your civ contiguous and hopefully will help the AI not be so aggressive in forward-settling against you. But the "era score" system that determines golden vs dark ages is completely opaque, so you don't know what you need to do to get the points to be able to keep yourself "in good shape" and thus it feels more like a "find out how we want you to play" feature, rather than a "series of interesting choices" like Civ games are supposed to be.
